Mr. Speaker, if it were not so funny, it would be sad.
The hon. member talked about how it took the Conservative government nine years to get out of the Liberal debt that it left and that it was all compound interest.
It took us three years to get out of the compound interest that the Conservatives talk about. It took us only three years of good management to do it.
There were nine lost years in which the Conservatives brought in the GST to help get rid of the deficit. It increased the debt. I call it something pretty simple: mismanagement. We see it wherever there is a Conservative government: mismanagement.
